Hi everyone! It’s almost the end of November, so I’m hooking up with Aileen Miracle for the Five Favorite Pins of November! Check them out!
1. Copyright
The first is a link to some great reminders for copyright issues. I recently attended a professional development session where the presenter literally told the whole crowd to go and just cut and paste a book from the internet. Um, WHAT?!?!?! NO!! I need to send him this link!
2. All Tied Up!
The second is my friend Angie over at iheartteachingmusic. What an adorable way to teach tied notes! Check her out!
3. Avoid Teacher Burnout
The next is some awesome tips for avoiding burnout. With three little girls at home, I really have to be careful not to burn out! Luckily I am still loving my job!
4. Aiken Drum
Look at this adorable man this class made for the song Aiken Drum! What a great idea!
5. Beat Blocks
Finally, the last pin is something I did earlier this year in my rhythm unit. This was a GREAT way to get kids thinking about note values!
Enjoy these pins and go follow me on Pinterest!
Wrapping Things Up
My final advice? When in doubt, bake cookies! (Pillsbury makes an excellent pull apart cookie dough, I must say). A dozen cookies on someone’s desk can make them feel warm and gooey inside (pun intended). This strategy has been around since the beginning of time and is a tried and true method.
If you are new at school and looking for lessons for the first day, you might also enjoy this post on first day lesson plans!
Who did I miss? Any other key people in school we should add?
Musically,
